Chernoff's faces

Chernoff's faces

This post was updated on .

Hi!

I'm trying to test a visualization technique called Chernoff Faces using Survo MM v 3.57 on Windows 7, but i can't follow the steps in Survo demo for Chernoff's faces because i am getting an error. After i run the first command, PLOT FOSSILS / TYPE=FACES, it tells me that it can't find the FOSSILS.SVO file, which is required for the method to work. I've also looked in the directory where the application was installed and i couldn't find any file with that name.
If i don't have the data set, the FOSSILS.SVO file, i can't test the method and i really need to do that.
It's urgent!

Re: Chernoff's faces

I have a little problem with the result of the GPLOT command for my faces. Although i have more than ten variables it keeps showing me only the first ten of them. So i am getting ten faces instead of fifteen.
This is the command i am running GPLOT FOS / TYPE=FACES without the parameter list.
Is there any limitation regarding the number of faces that it can display at a time.
I am using the data that Reijo Sund sent to me.

Try plotting with the command (i.e. add the specification FSIZE=120):

GPLOT FOS / TYPE=FACES FSIZE=120
